Eva Longoria

“Baking is too precise for me. I cook with a pinch of this or that.”

“I never had a time line for my life. I didn't say I wanted to be married at 28 and have three kids by the time I was 32.”

“So, I'm the Eighth Wonder of the World. It's flattering and very, very funny.”

“I have a personal trainer who comes over at least four times a week and kicks my butt. I get so sore that I can't even walk.”

“I learned French before I learned Spanish.”

“I'm not a matchmaker. I'm a horrible matchmaker. I always try. I'm not very good.”

“Even though I am very tied to and close to my heritage, I learned Spanish in college; I didn't grow up with it. Growing up in South Texas is different from Miami or L.A. where it is a necessity to speak Spanish.”

“The Eva Longoria who worked at Wendy's flipping burgers - she needed a tax break. But the Eva Longoria who works on movie sets does not.”

“There's no amount of money that would make me decide something for a career.”

“I love being a woman. I love the sexiness we get to exude. But the best thing about being a woman is the power we have over men.”

“I'm very literate on policy. I'm very literate on the issues, and I'm an American first. I've been involved in politics long before I was an actress. I just happen to have a platform now. I just happen to have a voice.”

“On a television show, you basically make a movie a week. Movies take three months - it's crazy. They're so slow, it's like vacation to me.”

“Who I am at the core and what I think represents me is really reflected in my family.”

“I don't regret anything I do, ever, whether articles I've done or things I've said. And as far as what's happened in the past, I wouldn't take anything back.”

“You can't have a relationship when you're shooting a 14-hour day and your husband is shooting a 14-hour day in the same city. It's a time thing and it's a together thing.”

“I was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, the youngest of four girls, including my oldest sister, Lisa, who has special needs. My mom was a special education teacher, and my dad worked on the Army base. We weren't wealthy, but we were determined to succeed.”

“לקחתי שיעורים בטכניקות של סבון, במשחק באופרות סבון, באיפור לאופרות סבון – כל מה שהיה לו קשר לסבוניות.”

“אמא שלי הייתה מקריבה משכורות שלמות כדי לקנות לנו מדי מעודדות, או כדי שאחותי תלך לתזמורת ותלמד חליל.”

“אחותי ליסה, היא מוגבלת שכלית. ככה שכל דבר שעשינו, כל חופשת קיץ, כל טיול – הכול היה מרוכז סביבה. אם היא יכולה לבוא, ואם יהיה לה כיף.”

“כשאני רואה את עצמי על שערי מגזינים אני מאוד גאה ומוחמאת, וגם צוחקת בחזרה על כל אלה שהיו רעים אליי ולעגו לי שאני נראית מוזר. זו צורה נחמדה של צדק פואטי.”
